3634. Adulteration  of  crashed pineapple.    U.  S. v.  10  Cases  and  11  Cases  of  Crushed Pine??
apple.     Default decrees of condemnation, forfeiture, and destruction.     (F. & D.  No.
5732.    I. S. No. 20304-h.    S. No. E-42.)
On May 19 and 20, 1914, the United States attorney for the District of Massa??
chusetts, acting upon a report by the Secretary of Agriculture, filed in the Dis??
trict Court of the United States for said district libels for the seizure and?
condemnation of 10 cases and 11 cases of crushed pineapple remaining unsold?
in the original unbroken packages at Boston, Mass., alleging that the product?
had been transported from the State of New York into the State of Massachu??
setts, and charging adulteration in violation of the Food and Drugs Act.
Adulteration of the product was alleged in the libels for the reason that it?
consisted in part of a filthy, decomposed, and putrid vegetable substance.
On July 20, 1914, no claimant having appeared for the property, judgments?
of condemnation and forfeiture were entered, and it was ordered by the court?
that the product should be destroyed by the United States marshal.
D. F. HOUSTON, Secretary of Agriculture.
